At last, I hope I'll be able to present you book 2 of my trilogy as well as some short stories.
Currently, I'm also collecting short stories from many different authors together with publisher Torsten Low. Deadline is at the last day of March, after that we'll find the best stories and combine them to the first anthology I'm allowed to create. :)
Apart from that, I hope to finsih two or three stories and prepare one or two of them for publishing in 2016!

In everything or nothing ... something, so to say? I never know what will inspire me the next second. It can be awesome music, a good film (which nearly always has a total different topic than the idea I get from it!), a word I hear while walking through the streets. Sometimes I dream things, very often I have small but overwhelming ideas just before I fall asleep so I have to turn the light on and write them down - and afterwards I always feel awake again. Of course. ;o)

Out of nowhere. Not kidding. I don't know anymore. I just sat on my bed and thought of it, and then the first ideas started to come, fit together and piece by piece form the whole story.

At the moment I'm working on a project I absolutely love. I started it in 2013's National Novel Writing Month (NaNoWriMo or just NaNo) an then had to put it asleep as my sold trilogy had to be written on. Now I just continued writing on it - and the characters instantly took me back into their adventure!

I can create many different worlds, characters and creatures - even better, I can control them and make them do what I want them to! Well, at least in 95%. Or maybe just 90%. ... 80%? Well, I can control them much more than I can in reality!

Depends on where it comes from. When it's because the project bores/annoys me, I change project for a while to get my head free. When the problem is a difficult part of the story, I try to write it down somehow - no matter how bad it sounds - so I can keep writing on. I can edit that part later.
